They're Back

Yesterday, one of my favorite pop groups from my youth (I think I was 25, er, 5 years old when they were around) made it official: the Spice Girls are getting back together for a greatest hits CD and world tour in December. They even sent their grandmothers out there for a press conference (above) to make the announcement. I guess the group members themselves were busy. This should be fun.

BET Awards

I caught about an hour of the BET Awards on Tuesday night before I turned to more Benoit coverage. The Jennifer Hudson/Jennifer Holliday "And I Am Telling You" duet was great, although a bit comical at times. I liked Beyonce's robot performance, although she got taken to task all over the internet for biting the routine from Kylie Minogue. Haters.

Hot Mess

Did Britney realize that she was going out in public? I think she's thrown in the towel.

Paris on Larry King Live

I am trying to watch this Paris Hilton interview on Larry King Live but it's torture. I don't know what's worse: Paris trying to string a complete sentence together or Larry's purple shirt. Her face has a weird look tonight. After the part where she tried to explain to Larry what bologna was, I couldn't take anymore and I had to turn to Sanford and Son. But it was the stupid episode where Fred pretends to have whiplash so I crawled back to the Paris interview. She said that she had to wear the classic orange jumpsuit in prison, which I would have paid cash money to see. Then the big moment: Larry asked her what "severe medical issue" she had that caused her to be sent back home for that one day. She said it was........ (wait for it)........ claustrophobia. Damn, I picked "crabs" in the office pool. This is pointless. I'm going back to Sanford.

A Denial

According to an article on aol.com, American Idol winner Jordin Sparks has denied that she is dating runner-up Blake Lewis:

"No, Blake is one of my best friends, but we don't see each other like that," she says. "Yes, we hold hands, but we DON'T see each other that way. Yes, he's cute, duh, [but] he's also 8-9 years older than me. He's like an older brother."

Yeah, he's older. Plus there's the hilarious height difference. And that whole "he's possibly flaming" thing.

Out of the Big House

At last-- freedom! It's party and ho-in' time!

Latest On The Benoit Tragedy

From si.com:

FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. (AP) -- Pro wrestler Chris Benoit strangled his wife, suffocated his 7-year-old son and placed a Bible next to their bodies before hanging himself with a weight-machine pulley, authorities said Tuesday.

Investigators found anabolic steroids in the house and want to know whether the muscle man nicknamed "The Canadian Crippler" was unhinged by the bodybuilding drugs, which can cause paranoia, depression and explosive outbursts known as "roid rage."

Authorities offered no motive for the killings, which were spread out over a weekend, and would not discuss Benoit's state of mind. No suicide note was found.
